The past few days have been pretty rough. Poorly kids (vomit = bedding being washed MANY times!), accidents, me making endless stupid mistakes. Sleep deprivation is a killer and I am shaking my head at things I've done wrong WAY more than I would like!
The cherry on the cake just happened as I was looking at photos I'd taken of the completed May quilt top - I've sewn part of it wrong. I am so mad at myself. I can't even show you what a doofus I am because the quilt is a secret. argh.
I don't have much to show but there is a new little project in the works:
I'm going to try and do my bee blocks this week so sorry to the ladies who are waiting - I have the pieces all cut and ready to go, just need a chance to sew them!
On the plus side we celebrated my son's 5th birthday with a party at the weekend, had lots of fun and my MIL and my sister came to visit. Sadly his actual birthday was on Monday so he had school... where he did this:
not fun.
I have also been feeling sad about crappy things happening to a few of my bloggy friends. I love emailing people but the downside of these friendships is not being able to give people actual hugs. I hope you know I'm thinking of you though.
So before I jump into a total pit of crappiness and self pity, here's what keeps me going. Precious moments and my gorgeous kids:

| there's nothing as great as sisters :) |
So I will keep going. Running on caffeine and cherishing the quiet moments.
Leave it to the baby to remind me to 'Rock On'!!

Love the cross stitch colours
Lovely colours for the new project & darling kids. I'm sure your friends know! Take care.
Love the last picture of Lois - Baby MiH is trying to get his two fits in, or sucking on his thumb... Hope you are ok hun'... Hang in there!
Oooh, a bad few days, it's your turn for happiness and good things now, so put a smile on your face and wait for the good stuff, it's on it's way i'm sure! :o)
Oh you poor thing! These bugs are horrible, and exhausting. Hope you and your lovely children are all on the mend soon. Sometimes mistakes can give you an idea you may never have thought of.
Take care

Oh Lucy, I hope you catch a break soon! That last picture is so adorable!!!
Hoping there are more of the happy times rather than the crappy ones coming your way soon. Your babies are beautiful.
Crap happens, but you will battle through; the kiddies will make it all worthwhile xxx
Beautiful pictures! Hope little ones are restored to full health really soon. Sorry for the crappy stuff... :-(
Oh Lucy, I hope the germs are banishes soon, and with it the sleep deprivation.
Hang in there....the rough days eventually turn back into fun, beautiful ones that you'll want to remember forever. The babies are so darling. Try to get some rest so everyone is back to par at the same time. Moms tend to run themselves ragged taking care of sick ones, then the kids get better and mom is too tired to keep up.
you are a doll. the only thing that matters at the end of the day is the love between family. The rest is all bonus. Head up till the weekend ;)
Your cross stitch looks so pretty! At least it will be a birthday your son never forgets:(
massive hugs to youse all, sweetpea x
Oh those last two pictures are fantastic. Hope the bugs go away and that you can catch up on your sleep. And remember, you CAN'T do everything!!
Boo to all the crud. Big deep breaths and rock on ;o)
Hoping for happier and sunnier days, for you and all your friends going through whatever crappy days! Your kids are so cute...
Long distance hugs, Lu! And that last picture made me giggle - my wee one sucks her fingers exactly like that (at 2.5!) and has done since she was a few weeks old :o)
Hope the vomit settles down quickly - it is the absolute worst. Thinking of you, lovely xxx
Hang in there, dear! Sending you hugs. And wishing for better days for your friends. And a little more sleep for you. :-)
Oh Lucy - poor you. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. xxx
Im sorry things are a bit rough for you right now. Hopefully they'll get better soon! I love the dress Lois is wearing - she looks so adorable!
Oh my word! My wee grandbabe sucks those same fingers. So cute!
Rock on! That is soo cute!! Kids are the best. Sorry the sickness has hit your house.. we've had it here too.. no fun! Hope you're all feeling better (and well rested!) soon. xoxo
Feel for you sister in vomit! Clarissa is getting migraines and throwing up as a result but being older not so much cleaning up to do!
It gets better - keep soldiering on ! Dish out virtual hugs - they do help and have some too! And get sleep when you can!
Your cross stitches are so perfect! I could never show stitches of mine that close up. Your emails to your friend would be pretty close to real life hugs I bet. Happy Birthday to your son, 5 years old is so grown up!
Hope your house is back to normal soon! xx
Having a house full of 'bugs' is horrible. I know as I'm typing this from my bed (I know that I'm lucky that I can go to bed). Just survive each day as it comes as it will pass. Di x
Ouch! Poor F and on his birthday too. Well I'm sending you a virtual hug as you need one too - look after you and your beautiful babes Lucy and I hope things are better soon. xo
gaaach! I hope things get better soon xxx
Ooo! I'm interested in seeing your cross stitch. Would you believe I've never cross stitched before?
She is so your baby! Hang in there I had no way to wash and have a bathtub full of laundry! It will get done soon it got fix! But life is good even when it seems its not! Lovely babies and tell him he is now a man sporting his first black eye!
Look after yourself Lucy. Let the bad wash over you, sip some tea and take a breath. Hope your week has picked up. Gorgeous kids btw!
Ha! Rock on, mama. It's going to get better...keep your hopes up. xx
